Herb Rice

Herb rice is a delicious twist to plain rice. It is best served with grilled meat or fried dishes. If you like spicy food, you may add chopped chili or even chili flakes. Garlic powder can also make it Â more aromatic.

Serves 10

Ingredients:

500g basmati and wild rice blend

2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves

2 tablespoons roughly chopped coriander leaves

2 tablespoons snipped chives

Salt and ground pepper to taste

Cook the rice in a large pot of salted boiling water or according to package instructions. After it boils, keep the heat to low to avoid overcooking or burning. The rice must be soft and fluffy. If it is and there is still excess water, you may drain it. Cover and keep warm.

Before serving, place the rice in a large bowl. Add the parsley, coriander and chives. Toss until well combined. Adjust the taste by adding salt and pepper. Serve with chili if desired.
